'01 a 48 point difference.
'02 a 44 point difference.
For those first 5 years, he was easy to get out when he faced a Left-hander.
You can't bring in a specialist to pitch to Kepp as he hits both lefties and righties equally.
I like his consistency. Casey was consistent, but consistently worse vs lefties.

Are you saying it takes playing time to learn to hit? ie Hamliton?

I was merely pointing out that Keppinger, likely at best a .800 OPS firstbaeman, simply doesn't hit well enough to play firstbase on a regular basis. Something we found out with Casey.
Posters complain about Gonzalez' hitting and he's around .800 with decent fielding.
Keppinger won't hit .350 forever.
